Abstract: A lossless audio coding and/or decoding method and apparatus are provided. The coding method includes: mapping the audio signal in the frequency domain having an integer value into a bit-plane signal with respect to the frequency; obtaining a most significant bit and a Golomb parameter for each bit-plane; selecting a binary sample on a bit-plane to be coded in the order from the most significant bit to the least significant bit and from a lower frequency component to a higher frequency component; calculating the context of the selected binary sample by using significances of already coded bit-planes for each of a plurality of frequency lines existing in the vicinity of a frequency line to which the selected binary sample belongs; selecting a probability model by using the obtained Golomb parameter and the calculated contexts; and lossless-coding the binary sample by using the selected probability model. According to the method and apparatus, a compression ratio better than that of the bit-plane Golomb code (BPGC) is provided through context-based coding method having optimal performance.

Abstract: In the moving image display device of the invention, a synthesis circuit inputs signals representing specified values of pixel rate factors R2 and R3 from a pixel rate factor specification circuit, while inputting overscanned frame image data D1 in the units of pixels from a 1 st  latch circuit. The synthesis circuit extracts a preset number of pixels corresponding to the specified value of the pixel rate factor R2 from a prior frame image, while extracting a preset number of pixels corresponding to the specified value of the pixel rate factor R3 from a latter frame image. The positions of pixels to be extracted from the latter frame image are complementary to the positions of pixels to be extracted from the prior frame image. The synthesis circuit combines the extracted pixels of the prior frame image with the extracted pixels of the latter frame image by a logical OR operation to generate intermediate frame image data D2. This technique of the invention is significantly simpler than the prior art technique but still effectively prevents flicker in a moving image to ensure smooth display of the moving image.

Abstract: When a main shooting subject is moving, the movement of the main shooting subject naturally viewed and recognized by a user is different from an actual frequent movement of the main shooting subject. If the display of an object identification mark accurately follows up a moving object, the visibility of the mark may deteriorate. The present invention provides a display method (110) for differentiating the follow-up response characteristics of the mark depending on a shift direction of a main shooting subject. For example, the follow-up response of the mark is lowered if a main shooting subject causes an up-and-down motion.
